Grandpa and Grandma Visit!

Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit last weekend! We had such a great time exploring the area and going to all sorts of fun places. We went to Jungle Gardens where the kids could feed and get really close to the flamingos, hold an alligator and a bird. We went to GWiz science museum where Peyton was in heaven and even got to be a little helper during an animal show. The Tampa Zoo was amazing! We can't wait to go back in a few weeks! We got to feed giraffes and one even got a little cheeky with me and tried to eat my hair! We found a great little restaurant  on the beach where we were attacked by seagulls. It was great fun and Peyton and Eliza found some shark teeth. Andy and I got an evening out to see Avatar which was much needed, while the kids baked a giant chocolate chip cookie with Grandma. The dogs, however, managed to get it off the counter and devour most of it. We had a wonderful weekend and the kids loved having their grandparents here. The kids will have some great memories from their visit!

Very comfortable in Grandpa's arms 
  
Kai thinks he has flamingo food in his hand.
  
Hey, get back here flamingos!
  
Peyton rescued a Giant American Moth from being eaten by ants. The moth had a broken wing, so Peyton made a small habitat for it, so it could die in peace! Such a sweety.
 
                                   Peyton loves snakes
